Chapter 254: Talismans
The two turned around and walked towards the Taixu Inn.
It didn't take long for Shi Yue and the others to return to the Taixu Inn.
After closing the door, Shi Yue entered the palm space.
It has been two months since he left the sect, and the red cloud flower has matured.
Shi Yue dug up the red cloud flowers from the spiritual field and cleaned them.
He slapped the storage bag on his waist with his palm, and a cyan Ding furnace flew out of it and landed in front of him in the wind.
Shi Yue took out a piece of spiritual charcoal and lit it at the bottom of the cyan ding furnace, and the rolling flames soon flooded the bottom of the cyan ding furnace.
Then pour the materials for refining blank rune paper such as red cloud flowers, animal bones, and ores into the cyan ding furnace in turn.
Half an hour later, the charcoal was burned.
Shi Yue took out five rectangular pieces of iron from the storage bag, the middle of the iron block was empty, and the square piece of iron was a rune paper template.
Shi Yue squatted down and turned a pattern above the cyan Ding furnace, and a stream of hot cyan liquid flowed out of a hole in the bottom of the Ding furnace and fell into the template.
Once one template was filled with cyan liquid, he set it aside and brought a second template.
After the five templates are filled with cyan liquid, the pattern is twisted back to its original position, and no cyan liquid flows out.
It didn't take long for the cyan liquid in the five templates to dry up, and with a twist, five cyan rune papers of the same size appeared in front of Shi Yue, and these cyan rune papers were blank rune papers.
The color of the blank rune paper is determined by the refining material, and the colors are different, when Shi Yue refines, some more green marble is put in, and the green marble is cyan after melting, and even the blank rune paper that comes out of refining is also cyan.
It took an hour for Shi Yue to finish pouring the cyan liquid in the Ding furnace, and after the cyan liquid was dried, it was a blank rune paper.
He made a total of more than 1,200 blank rune papers, and the twelve blank rune papers on the market cost one spirit stone, and more than 1,200 blank rune papers were worth more than 100 spirit stones.
It took Shi Yue ten days to refine a total of 90,000 blank rune papers.
After refining a large amount of blank rune paper, he took out the Qingyun Talisman Pen and a wooden table from the storage bag and began to practice drawing rune seals.
Shi Yue had just started to learn to draw talismans, of course, starting with the simplest ones, and the fireball talisman was his first goal. He dipped a little dansa with the Qingyun rune pen, and dropped it on the blank rune paper, and a mysterious fire attribute rune immediately appeared on the blank rune paper.
He didn't dare to slack off, and he painted with his heart every stroke.
A quarter of an hour later, the aura of Shi Yue's blank rune paper suddenly became chaotic, and there were signs of a violent outburst.
Shi Yue was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly threw out the half-completed rune paper.
As soon as the rune paper left his hand, with a "poof", it spontaneously combusted without wind and burned into flying ashes.
This time, I drew the Fireball Charm and failed.
Shi Yue was not depressed because of this failure, he carefully recalled the talisman making process just now, found out his own shortcomings, put a brand new blank talisman paper in front of him, and the Qingyun talisman pen was stained with some red dansha, and the pen fell.
A quarter of an hour later, the rune paper was halfway through the drawing, and it still ended in failure.
The third time, it was still a failure.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, Shi Yue failed hundreds of times, and his originally firm belief began to waver.
The lost rune paper was enough for him to buy dozens of finished fireball talismans, and he hadn't successfully drawn them yet.
"Senior Xiaoyaozi, didn't you say that you would guide me to draw the talisman seal?" Shi Yue seemed to remember something, and shouted loudly at Shi Wu.
"Stone boy, you can't bear it after hundreds of failures? You're too fragile, aren't you! This is just the simplest fireball talisman, if you even have to be taught the simplest fireball talisman, I don't think you need to learn to draw talismans, just buy whatever you need! Anyway, you're not bad for spirit stones now." Xiaoyaozi's tone was full of disdain.
"I've failed hundreds of times, and I haven't succeeded once, who still has the heart to continue drawing!" Shi Yue muttered to himself in a low voice, looking a little frustrated.
"What is the point of hundreds of failures? Forget the man the old man told you? He failed ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times to successfully draw a fireball talisman, and it is precisely because of this indomitable belief that he has been able to become an excellent talisman master, Shi boy, send you a word, where there is a will, there is a way. Xiaoyaozi said a few rare reliable words.
Hearing this, Shi Yue's face softened, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, others failed ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times to succeed once, and he didn't believe that he would fail 100,000 times to draw a fireball talisman.
Thinking of this, Shi Yue had a little more confidence, he took a deep breath, picked up a blank rune paper and put it in front of him, and put the pen down.
An hour later, Shi Yue's eyes widened, and he looked at the cyan rune paper under his pen with full attention, and now he was short of the last rune, and he would be able to succeed.
When the last rune fell, a burst of red light lit up on the surface of the cyan rune paper, and the red light flashed, and a fireball rune was officially drawn.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
He failed nine hundred and ninety-nine times before finally drawing his first fireball talisman, and it seemed that it was not easy to become a talisman maker.
Shi Yue put away the fireball talisman, took a blank talisman paper in front of him, and dropped the pen.
A day later, Shi Yue looked at the dozens of fireball talismans on the table, and a smile appeared on his tired face.
After a whole day's hard work, he drew fifty-four fireball talismans, and now two fireball talismans can be sold for three spirit stones in Xianyuan City, that is to say, Shi Yue spent a whole day and only earned eighty-one spirit stones.
But he lost more than 5,000 blank rune papers, and only then did he refine fifty-four fireball runes, and in total, he could draw a fireball rune for every hundred blank rune papers he lost, which was a loss.
This is also a matter of no choice, Shi Yue asked a few shopkeepers who sell talismans, but the other party has not heard of this kind of talisman, if he wants to get the talisman, he can only draw it himself.
Although the Tongmai Talisman is not a high-level talisman, it is also an intermediate-level talisman, and the rune paper used to draw the intermediate-level talisman is refined with a century-old elixir or a second-level animal skin.
Demon beasts above the second level are relatively rare in Datang, and most of them can only be seen in some secret forbidden places, and a few occasionally appear, and they are quickly exterminated by local immortal cultivators, therefore, most of the immortal cultivation realms in Datang use hundred-year elixirs to refine intermediate-level blank rune paper.
Because of this, intermediate-grade rune paper is rarely sold on the market, and basically the talisman maker himself refines the blank rune paper and uses it to draw the rune seal, that is to say, if Shi Yue wants to draw the Tongmai rune, he must use the hundred-year-old elixir to refine the intermediate blank rune paper.
He didn't have that many centuries-old elixirs to squander, so he had to improve his talisman level.
